Tearful Gamu wows 'X Factor' judges

A tearful Gamuchirai Nhengu stunned the X Factor judges at her audition, which will air in this weekend's opening episode of series seven.

Nhengu, who moved to Scotland from Zimbabwe in 2005, appeared at the Glasgow try-outs, where she sang her own unique version of 'Walking On Sunshine'.

Speaking before her audition, the 18-year-old hopeful explains that she wants to be remembered as "somebody that people talk about", before revealing that she is desperate for a pop career to pay back her single parent mum.

After her performance, Simon Cowell gushes with praise, telling her that she sounds like a "cool old-school jazz singer from the '20s or '30s".

"To be honest with you, that is one of my worst songs ever, but you did something different with it. I really, really, really like you! You are very talented," he adds.

Louis Walsh describes her as "soulful" and "likeable", while Cheryl Cole admits that her performance made her "really excited". Guest judge Geri Halliwell tells a tearful Nhengu that her mum will be "proud" of her performance.

The X Factor starts on Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV1.
